Solar in Wheelers HillLarge houses with large evening bills
Wheelers Hill was built mostly in the 1970s and 80s, later than the older parts of Monash, and it was built bigger. Many homes are double storey on generous blocks, with hipped tile roofs that sit up on the rise and get good sun. There is no train line through the suburb, so many households run two cars, and a lot of the power use lands after school and work.
That pattern suits a large array and a battery that is sized to match. The roof can usually take a generous system, and the real design question is how much of the day's generation the household can store and use after dark. We read your bills, ask about the gas heating and any plans for an electric car, and size the battery for the evenings you actually have.
Supply is the other thing we check. Some homes here are three phase and some are single phase, and that decides which inverter suits and how much can be exported. Wheelers Hill is about 40 minutes from our depot in Somerville, and we service it with our own crews and fixed quotes, alongside the other work we do in Wheelers Hill.
